Prize Bonds

Preface

KaliaGroup has played an important role in enhancing the sale of Prize Bonds nation wide. More over, they have also given many useful suggestions and feedbacks to the Government to run this scheme in a profitable and successful manner. In fact, the recent withdrawal of the series-wise draw system was solely due to Kalia Group’s tireless efforts. And this Group is also persuading the Govt. to increase the number of prizes in a series, which hopefully, like in the past on Group's demand, would be implemented in the near future. How To Check Prize Bonds.

Step 1: First of all select the denomination of the Prize Bonds.
Step 2: Enter your email and click the next button.
Step 3: Once you accept the terms of service, a new page opens. Write your PB's number in the 'To' and 'From' boxes. If you have only one prize bond, write the same number in both the boxes, then click the Add button.
Step 4: Select the draw number which you want to check from the combo box provided there.
Step 5: Finally click on the Check button. The system will inform you if there is a win or not.

Tips

1. Only that Prize Bond whose date of issuance is at least 60 days prior to the draw date, is entitled for a win.
2. There was a series wise draw before 15th November 2000. Therefore, to claim for those prize(s) which were announced in the draws held before 15th November 2000, the prize bond's series should also match with that of draw result. From the draws held after 15th November 2000, you don’t have to match the series but the Numbers only.
3. As validity of a prize is six years, so you may claim your prize(s) till six years from the date of that particular draw.
4. Some of the Prize Bonds are withdrawn by the Government of Pakistan and now no more can be encashed from any authorized Government body. However prizes announced on them can be claimed. As validity of a prize is six years, so you may claim your prize(s) till six years from the date of that particular draw.
   Following are the details of the last draws held for those particular denominations.

Forex Trading

Introduction to Forex Trading

FOREX is the world’s largest and most liquid trading market. In our opinion ,FOREX is one of the best home business you can ever venture in. Even though regular people have had the opportunity to take part in trading foreign currencies for speculations (in the same way banks and large corporations do) since 1998, it is just now becoming the cool, hip, new "thing" to talk about at parties, business events, and other social gatherings.

Even though it has been somewhat of a loosely guarded secret, every day more and more investors are turning to the all-electronic world of FOREX trading because of what they perceive as its numerous benefits & advantages over traditional trading vehicles, like stocks, bonds and commodities.

But, still, whenever something seems new or is just becoming a part of social conversation, news articles, and water cooler gossip, misconceptions have to be overcome, the mind has to be open and the slate has to be clear for starting out fresh with the CORRECT information.

So, in this article, it is my attempt to give you some solid, but not over-detailed, information on just what the heck "FX" (FOREX) means, what it is, and why it exists.

Here's an explanation (one I feel you'll appreciate) of what FOREX is and how a bunch of traders, operate in this market

The Foreign Exchange Market, also referred to the "FOREX" or "FX" market, is the spot (cash) market for currency.

But, don't mistake FX as trading the futures market, where you buy a contract to purchase a particular currency at a future price in time.

So, you're probably wondering where it's at ... or ... how to access the FX market?

The answer is: FX Trading is not bound to any one trading floor and is not centralized on an exchange, as with the stock and futures markets. The FX market is considered an Over-the-Counter (OTC) or 'Interbank' market, due to the fact that the entire market is run electronically, within a network of banks, continuously over a 24-hour period.

Yes, if that's the first time you've heard about an all-electronic market, I know this may sound somewhat intriguing to you.

Here's what you are actually trading when you participate in the Foreign Exchange (FOREX) market:

Essentially, like the large banks who use the FX market to protect themselves from the fluctuating exchange rate of different currencies, as an investor, what a FX trader is doing is simultaneously exchanging one countries currency for another. So, in actuality, they're electronically trading a currency-pair and the price that is quoted to us is the exchange rate between the two currencies.

In other words, simply the quoted price is how many of the one currency is worth 1 of the other currency.

Example:

EUR/USD last trade 1.3680 - One Euro is worth $1.3680 US dollars.The first currency (in this example, the EURO) is referred to as the base currency and the second (/USD) as the counter or quote currency.

The FOREX has a DAILY trading volume of around $1.5 trillion dollars - 30 times larger than the combined volume of all U.S. equity markets.

The FOREX plays a vital role in the world economy and there will always be a tremendous need for the FOREX. International trade increases as technology and communication increases. As long as there is international trade, there will be a FOREX market. The FX market has to exist so a country like Japan can sell products in the United States and be able to receive Japanese Yen in exchange for US Dollar.

There's plenty of opportunities using FOREX for plenty of traders that use the right trading techniques / tactics that will allow them enter this market.

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) is planned to reveal its ultimate financial guidelines conclusion for the year and almost positively this series next Tuesday. Fed Funds futures are pricing in a 94% possibility that Chairman Ben Bernanke and his associate rate setters are going to cut the benchmark lending rate an additional 75 basis points to a sheer 0.25 %. This can be the lowest level for the overnight lending rate in over 35 years and can push the policy weight to locate an another means to support lending and revitalize financial expansion. And they are going to surely have to find substitute. With the central bank assuring loans and supplying almost limitless liquidity to the market, monetary associations are uncertain to take counterparty risk and lend to each other.
